| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Purdue | |
| 2 | Marquette | |
| 3 | Arizona | |
| 4 | UConn | |
| 5 | Kansas | |
| 6 | Duke | |
| 7 | Houston | |
| 8 | Miami (FL) | |
| 9 | Tennessee | |
| 10 | Baylor | |
| 11 | Gonzaga | |
| 12 | Texas A&M | |
| 13 | Texas | |
| 14 | Creighton | Fewest spots you can drop when getting blown out against a non top 20 team. |
| 15 | Kentucky | |
| 16 | Florida Atlantic | |
| 17 | Ohio State | |
| 18 | Mississippi State | A single loss to A&M and a win against Alabama is enough for top 19 these days |
| 19 | North Carolina | |
| 20 | Alabama | |
| 21 | Villanova | The loss to Penn seemed to be a rivalry game Nova didn't respect enough, the rest of the resume is worth while |
| 22 | Illinois | |
| 23 | Colorado State | Of the undefeated teams that aren't in the power 6 they have by far the best resume. |
| 24 | Colorado | |
| 25 | UCLA | Gonzaga Close loss. Marquette close loss. Almost a pitty ranking. |
Not that impressed with James Madison's resume the worse michigan St does. I want to believe in USC and Iowa St but they have to produce more to be top 25. Arkansas and Virginia, not impressed.
